    glass is better than acrylic for me too. i am about as clumsy as can be, and I haven't managed to scratch any glass yet - that is unfortunately saying alot. :)

    I am far from clumsy, but accidents happen. I had a 20+ year old AGA 35g that i recently sold to someone for a sump, and it was still clean enough to be a display.

    It was a display tank for most of that time with LR stacked as it had to be for a 35g tank. I know I had several pieces of LR rest along the glass, and I never have had a scratch.
